Where have all the good men gone? we need Americans not whinning about war...just ones willing to fight. Instead they are wanting to introduce GAY rights to 5 yr olds. in Lexington MA. Pansies. Give em hell FDR.

Great rousing speech about why we should go to War against Japan. They of course bombed Hawaii, but I didn't know the Japs caused a lot more destruction on more islands during that same time.. SHows you what a goof I am. Anyways, the Congress loves him, based on the massive applause he gets. Go get em' FDR! (PS the Americans won)
